A short introduction to material tracking with RFID
Material management is a crucial part of any manufacturing operation. Most have hundreds or even thousands of suppliers for a variety of raw materials and components and an efficient production schedule requires good planning and on-time visibility for deliveries and material stock.
An investment in RFID offers manufacturing companies a fast material receiving process, data-based ordering, and an ability to respond fast to changes in demand. Furthermore, the data collected from various RFID read points can be used for quality assurance as well as later for after sales or product withdrawal matters.
Benefits
- Faster Material receiving
- On-time material inventory
- Zero material identification errors when feeding material to machine
